# Buying group rebate

A term used when buying electrical supply house.

Money a co-operative pays back after the fact, earned on the volume its members buy together.

A meaningful share of a supply house's profit does not come from the customer. It arrives months later from the group, and it depends on volume tiers, on program participation, and on the house still being a member in good standing. That makes it the most fragile line in the earnings a seller quotes: a change of ownership can reset a tier, and the group decides whether the membership transfers at all. Ask for two years of rebate statements, the tier each was earned on, and the group's own transfer rule.
